I have to say, I am really disappointed in these musical selections. I don't think either of them suit his personality. A tango? Something sexually-charged for a young, fresh-faced teenager? And then something so heavy and dark like Schindler's List? He shouldn't have to bear the weight of that storyline. Last year's programs were just perfect, especially the Bach cello suite (SP), and this just doesn't measure up.

He is a young man now. There is nothing wrong with a young man pursuing a sexually-charged program. And I anticipate it, because it will encourage him to come out of his shell and really perform.

And Schindler's List is extremely beautiful and IMO will suit his style wonderfully. It's an Olympic season. If you can't challenge yourself now, where can you?

Josh debuted his "Libertango" SP today at SLC. Scored 71.85. Stepped out of the 4T but was good on the other jumps. What let him down were the spins...his CCoSp was a level 1, his StSq was a level 2, his camel was a level 3.
